Hi, I'm trying to port a few things to Windows and I'm fairly certain that how I'm translating them is incorrect despite not receiving any errors. 
$self->sys('/bin/mkdir', '-p', "$self->{tmp}/attach");
$self->sys('cmd /C mkdir', '-p', "$self->{tmp}/attach");

The first line is the original (works under linux) and the second line is what I thought was correct under Windows. However, I've never see the results of any of my commands. Is my syntax correct? I have many other cases that involve ln, rm, rm -rf, mv, which are all used in the same manner.

In case you have questions about what sys() is, it's more or less system().
